[question posted by humaaaa]

responses and comments:



i think you shoul get a pda for yourself,it will be good,and change the motherboard with a processor,you will get both the things [abhiroop85]
i should go for pda which is 57000 how will i get a mother board and processor in 3000? [humaaaa]



well u may purchase a k-jam or a jasjar instead of jasjam.then u will have enough money for ur computer as well..why don't u purchase the sony ericsson P-910 [hamza123]
i don't like k jam [humaaaa]


I do think you should buy a new computer, computer is a mutipurpose machine, you can do whatever you want to do there so I'd tell you to buy a computer. [yoyoduelistsb17]


if you have more money you give it to me i will tell you how to buy any thing you like. [saravanan302006]
I dont have a money till u like to help me? [sky5net]


I think, if you really need a computer because your old computer does not responding according to your needs so i suggest you to first buy a computer and buy a mobile phone of some little price, then whenever you get enough money to buy a I mate, then purchase it [faisal86]

Laptop is a much better idea to go with coz noe ,you have a pc and second,u should have a laptop.this ways u can sit anywhere in ur home and do anything in ur lap but pc cannot b taken to places. [adnan007]
now adays pc and laptop is exactly the same these days laptops are better than pcs [bharalanga]


u made 60,000 rupees from my lot :-D well share it with me and i will buy you a lot of things. :-D just joking no offece please. I think buying a pc is more useful than a mobile. Cheers, Tutul [tutul0045]

I think you should draw a scale of preference and match this with the usefulness of the two to you. if you are into business, you will probably find a cellphone more useful. [ilunice]

well u have to make a choice or buy the cheap mobile than it's okay for u to manage. [narayanswarup]
well id say buy a new pc because you can do alot more like somebody else said. if that was me i would definetley say a pc even tho my phone isnt any good as my new mobile got stolen from me a few weeks back :( [xXmeganxX]


why not buy a laptop or PC, u can buy any of these for RS.35,000 (the starting price for a PC is still lower than this). For the mobile, u can buy a nokia N-series phone which works like a PDA plus u get a camera with a good video resolution. U can buy a nokia N70 which is really good, just Rs.16500. so u still have Rs.9000 left after purchasing these two! [cyfernet]

if u want to play many games buy a new pc, your cellphone will work for a while i think, unless it's junk. go for the computer [Sm00tH]

i think you should get a new computer. if you want a new comp and u need one then go for it :) [grace1045]

with a new pc you can do a lot of thing,why u need a mobile phone of last generation,for some stupid game or webcam or live movies???i'mho with a new pc u can do a lot of thing and save some money spend in sdtupid thing [lynoxuette]

I would surely have purchased the pda with INR 5000 X 12 emi's and purcase a pc comfortably with the balance. Thanks [plasma]

I think that a laptop would be a good idea. [jotace]

Choices is what make a man a man but as u r a women i will advice u to take a PC as ur said config of PC is too low and mobile can be brought next when u earn more money from mylot what say. [sanket_gandhi226]

I would say get a computer .... and in that much amount of money i think you can get both good computer as well as mobile phone. [incription]

you should purchase a labtop and also purchase a s.e w830i.. its a cool phone... [hiteshnihalani]

Depends on your need what is it that you require the most and will make you go for it Just buy that dont be so confused buy something now and keep the other for later [vipul20044]

you have 57,000 INR? then why dont you got buy both. first you want a mobile phone which has some latest features.why you go for i-mate ?.try to buy a nokia communicator which will worth only under 30,000. and if you want a mobile phone which has 2mp camera,mp3 player and video player , look for nokia n-70 or n-93 or any n-series which worth also under 30,000.also there is sony ericsson walkman fone which provide finest and better sound also have mp4and mp3 player.a pc will b available under 30,000 now. so here is my suggestion 1) if you want a pc with little advanced fix bugget to 40,000 2) go for sony ww700 or nokia n-70 which r available for 10-20000 you have to buy latest pc than a mobile. u ll get bored with mobile easily thank yoou [Serjas]

update the p3, it's a lot cheaper, I think pda's are something to get tired of and then laid aside for something lighter but my choices are different than yours. [wewally]

I have tosay buy the computer.A computer is much more valuable piece of equipment.All the stuff you can do on it.You be able to play those games you have been wanting to play. [jen20619]

U can go for a palmtop. Otherwise i can suggest u the NOKIA COMMUNICATOR....which acts both as a mobile phone as well as a palmtop. All features like Pc and very advanced.... [anirbanb4u]

Just get a new computer because playing games and word processing would be best in a big screen. In the small screen mobile phone you are not as agile and it gets annoying. People only use those if they are on the road a lot. If you like to play games just get a NVIDIA Geforce 8800 and a nice processor and 2GB of RAM and 750GB of hard drive. [mchu519]

Its better to go for PC as u are interested in playing games ..u'll have big scrren and good keyboard for playing .. Now a days computers have become very cheap..so go for it. Earn some more money and buy PDA little later ;-)) [sudhajan]

I would suggest that you buy a computer at first, and use it to make as many phone calls as you can, internet phone calls are totally free to others on the same system, eg Skype or Voipcheap, also with Voicheap for a small amount of money you can make totally free phone calls to landlines in several different countries, and very cheap to other countries not on the free list. With the money you save on these calls you could save up for a mobile phone. [Eskimo]

I suggest that you buy a pc. It's much more usefull than a PDA phone. [pshicokill3r]

You can easily purchase a computer and mobile with 60,000 bucks. You just need a planning. First priority is for a personal computer. Once you have purchased it, go for a good mobile with the balance left. Don't expect PDA Phone with the remaining amount. As your computer is old and willing to play as many games as possible, please purchase a computer first. [myheartbeat4u]

What is your priority? playing computer games or using the cellphone. anyway your pentium 3 750MHz is actually upgradeable. increase your ram memory and attached a video card with at least 128MB memory. that can make you play more games on your computer at less cost. so it is possible that you might be able to buy a new mobile phone and at the same time enjoy gaming with your pc. [ethaniverson]

This Jasjam phone looks cool actually... what features does it have? [mystery777]

I suggest you should buy a computer,b'cos it has many features than mobile phone,you can also get your computer link to the world wide web with internet connection,which you may visit some site to make and recieve call right on your computer,in other words computer can also serve as mobile phone for you,as it is for me................. [ponppy]

I think the new computer is best. A computer is very versatile and has many uses, both practical and entertainment. And the storage space on your computer hard drive will be much better. And if you decide you want to start a business of your own, you will need a decent computer. [cblackink]

a pc. when i was still in college i really feel so left out if i don't have the latest phone, but as i grow older i realized that i don't need all the high tech stuff on a mobile phone. it's so expensive plus the risk of losing it is very high. plus why do we really need cellphones? to call or send sms to out friends or family right? i think all cellphones have that feature even if it's not expensive. so if i were you, id go for the PC. :) Happy shopping! [dmanuel]

Do not buy new computer 750mhz. is not too bad and you can make it run faster if you clean your hard disk(there is a free program)also if you add some more memory your computer could be real good. [coolguy01]

Id Buy a good Computer............Best Buy Stores have reasonable prices now [perkinstl2004]

A computer is the best choice next go for the mobile phone, you spend a lot of hours here you need to upgrade your PC. [jossml]

if i was you i would choose a computer. you can always get a OK mobile phone for cheap. [hashthugin]

buy only one thing problem solved.okkk .buy only cell phone a good quality one which has all qualities. [artisweety]

I think you should buy PC intead to prevent robbers.. [peejay01]

in depends if you really need to keep in contact with ppl ..do u actually need a phone? or want a better one? i think you should get the computer if u already have a mobile phone. [artygirl2006]

i suggest you go and boy some pocket pc. it has the power and the capability of both a pc and a mobile phone. they say that we should be careful on what you wish for. but really pocket pcs are the answer to my long time problems. maybe you should give HP ipaq 6365, or O2 xda's or even the much awaited N95. its got everythin from mp3s to videos and even wifi so goodluck!and stay happy as always i hope you'll consider my advise [123456_]

I can only give suggestions but you have to make the decision yourself. I think you should buy what is the most important thing first. Then only you think about buying the thing you desire to have. You can raise money buy working in a part time job. When the money is enough, you can buy the second most important between the two things. [ladysurvivor]

I think it is better to go for a new PC.Because mobile phones are such things that every moment a new modelis launched in the market with better functionality and less price..so after 2 to 3 months later we will feel regret why i bought the mobile now I must have waited for another 2 to 3 months...So i think it is better to go for PC..with your budget you can get a better high-end computer with great configuration ..So buy PC and enjoy gaming.. [shyam4uall]

I think you should buy mobile phone if your computer is new. Buy a mobile phone better than a computer. [zero0083]

i recommend a new PC, its much more useful then get a cheaper basic phone. cheap phones are flooding the market and as long as you can call and send messages, then its fine. [bimmer999]

Imate jasjam will hav more computing power than ur P3 system! So buy core 2 duo and then try to save money fr ur phone which wud hav become cheaper by then! [ojhapreetam]
what is core 2 [humaaaa]


I would say which one do you need more..needs come before wants.. PDA'S are nice but you will end up going blind from seeing the screen!..+ [littlefranciscan]
go blind seeing the screen didn't get you? [humaaaa]


Acomputer that can be used as a phone [kulanuwun]

I think you should go for a new computer. Its gonna help you more. Don't know how but if i were you i would have spend the money in a way which would be more fun for me. Like you know go out, watch movies, etc etc more. I already have a comp and a phone that's why. Well in ur case i would buy a comp instead. No points spending freaking 57000 rupees on one phone. again that's my opinion. [soumodeep]

Just ask yourself which one you need the most, there will be one that you need more then other and then the answer will be simple, Sounds like you do really need a new computer if you cant play many games on your one! [baysmummy]

i think you better buy a mobile phone... it is great to have a handy computer [iyamapa]

no better would be a computer [kaniam]

Well if u like games a lot then by a computer.. if u think u can aviod games than u can by a Pda phone.. btw wat r u going to do wid a pda phone.. i sugeest by a comp wid 40k and by a Nseries nokia for 20k .... wat do u say. [killerman7777]

I think u got two choices...either u buy a pc itself or if u r usin ur pc mostly for games i'd suggest u buy a xbox 360 dats available for rs.19,000 n buy a pda like blackberry with rest of the money. [falcon20]

i suggest you go with the PC [cnetboss]

I think taht if you buy motherbord,p4celeronprocessor,Ram,Power unit,vga card then you will be abel to assemble the computer with your other parts(already in your p3).aftertaht you can buy a mobile phone worth of balance in your hand. [papiras]

so what have u decided to buy.i guess that most of the people would suggest you to buy a new computer and to buy mobile phone later on. [hamza123]
still im confused some have told me to upgrade my pc to p4 and buy a mobile phone with rest of the money left. I already have a cell phone but what i want is i mate jasjam which ican't by with the money which will remain after i upgrade my pc. [humaaaa]


If you can't decide...Give it to me, ok! hehe. Anyway which one do you priority most? [cuddiluk]

Hi,depending on the essentiality of the thing,u can take a decision.Choose which is of much use in ur daily life..Then buy that one.. [elixir]

buy a hp 64x2 processor model that' the best u can have in 60000 rs [ommeblack]

hmmm u can buy both of them..!! ur new pc will cost approx 40 to 45 thousands.!! n u hv still 15 thousand rs..!!so u can buy ur mobile too..! [djfaadu]

You should buy a new PC. The old one is not very powerful... [myrcea14]

i think that 60000 rupees is enough for u to buy both the things. i think that u should buy a pda but not an imate jasjam. u should but the imate jam or k-jam with half the money and with the money which is left u can easily also buy a good pc. hope it helped. [ahsanxr]

go for a pda rather than buying any one of these [mukulmisra24]

hi.how r u? thanks to u r openion.laptop better. [padhukr]

You better buy a computer.. it helps to you earn money..what is the use of mobile [munirajj]

you better go for a new pc. [ronyjohn007]

How much the computer cost? However I thing it's better to buy a computer, it's more useful. [losangelet]

you baugt a computer because, it provide you allot of facielity as well as game you just buy amd 3600+ and 512mb ram , it is good for you as game and watching movies and so all, [shivaanand]
512 mb ram days are long gone dude. For vista u need optimum 1 gb and for a faster vista u need 2 gb ram. [soniccastle]


It depends on what you need.You need to play pc games?get a pc.You prefer showing off or organising your schedule,get a dopod. [cooldude8889]

buy a laptop is the best you can do the mobile phones are too much now and you run the risk to buy someone which is not useful for you [pizzoli]

buy a cheap PC by exchanging old one. and then buy a mobile. may be computer will be the best and mobile for a youngster it ahs become very essential. but with Rs.60,000 you can buy both with good configuration and features sweety [lavin12]

well i would suggest that you buy a cell phone which you can also use as a computer!!!but i don't think you can use such phones to play games like the normal comp.u can use it for notes or e-mailing n stuff and some of the normal cell phone games.and is there any specific reason that u want to buy that cell phone?becoz the price looks a it too steep to me.you can get normal cell phones too for much lesser than that.what is so specific abt this cell?any real good features? if not get a normal cell for talking and save a lil more n u can get a good computer! [prashanth_vv]

Well according to me if you are a gaming freek you better go for a new computer cos you will get a demon for 60000. it will work multi purpose for you. Or else get a simple cell something like N72 or so for 15000, If u can sacrifice an LCD on your computer u can also get a cool pc for around 45000. Sonds cool eh. If i had da money i would have done that. [soniccastle]

better go fr a PDA fone rather than getting an comp coz now a days its kewl to ve new model mob, but nobody is gonna come n see ur comp its purily fr ur use so better go fr the fone [deepsaaba]

Buy a Lottery and...Go for both...If UR lucky enough....Haha [Vinay_s]

You did not get any option like, Buy one computer and get one mobile free..... My opnion is always go for Computer. [gupta_ashish28]
Also if you want partner for playing game, you can invite me. [gupta_ashish28]


i think you better think about requirement what is your first need right now...Jasjam and pc...then bring it which is most needed and then when you earn sufficient money to buy another one...take this.. how will take both things when you don't have sufficient money...otherwise you have comprmise on quality!! [harsh1985]

I think you should go for a new mobile because you can have some very critical upgrades in your pc but a new mobile will be an accessory u'll love to possess but at some thoughts I can also recommend you to buy a pc. so lemme say 85% votes from my side to a mobile and 15% to mobile [kingatul]

Go for a pc and if u really wanna buy a phone then go for cheaper one so that u can have both the things togther [sahiba77]

A computer I think you should buy.It`s more usefoul!;) [yonu15]

Hm... You want a phone thats for sure.... The best thing is that you buy a computer for yourself.... Why i said this is that the mobile market is boosting with thousands of new ones with better features.... You can get a computer for around 25000rs, store the remaining amount, wait for 6 months or an year or so. Now, you will be in a good position to add more money to your collection and then buy your phone. By that time, the cost of the phone will be less or you can look for even newer once.... I don't mean that computer market is not booming, but if u but a computer now, you can use it for atleast for 5yrs and no one knows about it. But your phone is an addition to your personality. May it be in collage or in public; according to me phones should be latest and most good looking. In future, there is also chances for the prizes of mobiles to come down. I would prefer waiting for a mobile and running for a computer in such situations... [vishnu_badlapur]

I advise you to buy a new computer because this is much more useful than a Pda [manu224]

Buy a Computer, i'm sure you can't play Computer games on an iMate.. [shekruse]

Well it depends on you,what is your priority?If you still can use your old mobile then you can buy a new PDA later and upgrade your computer first. [ikinta]

get a PDA if you need to take ur cell/ pc with ya... its handy and stuff unless you need to be on the computer all day.. just get a computer... whateer fits your life better:) [suzyangel08]

well why are you lying my dear in pakistan cell and computer both are really cheap then other countries and in 60 thousand you can earn 2-3 mobile and 1 pc easily so my dear it is not a problem you can buy both things togetheer,,, [asadahsan]

i think u must go simply for imate spjas,which u will get approx in Rs.36,000 so u with the rest of your money u can have a very good pc (ready for Vista ) And one more thing...you are really an intelligent guy :D [soFh123]

well,i think u can buy a mobile phone with ur rupees. [rockyyy]

go for computer as it save ur money in talking and use internet in computer for chatting [hemank]

well i prefer a good pc or a laptop... cause mobile life is short termed... but i pc or a laptop is usefull till whole life for everyone [ricky1209]

Well huma I will only say that buy the thing you need importantly in both, while you can have a lowcost mobile for a while and can have P4 but If you'll buy Imate you can't buy P4 depends upon you pretty lady :-) [Bbilal]

You better choose to go for loan,. buy both by paying current money what you have. balance you should pay in esy monthly instalments.so, can be happy & you can also enjoy having both mobile & computer. there are lot banks which are providing loans in minimum intrest & without intrest also. so, dont worry go for the loan. [ndraj_2006]

well u can buy both of them in 60 thousand rupee a p4 computer with 1 gb of ram will cost u near about 45000. and in 15000 u can buy Nokia 6270. [mehula2]

I think you need to go for a PDA Phone as a first option. Anyways you have the old computer already. You just wnat to change because you cant play many games. But PDA mobile phone itself acts as a computer, so you do not have to worry. Buy a phone, use it as a computer. When you think display is small, you can use the old computer for the time being. Once you have got a lot of money go for a new PC again. So better choice is to go for PDA Mobile Phone. [anjuscor]

firstly, think it which is the one that most important to you. from there you will know which one you have to buy. off course if you money didn't enough to buy both of them. if its enough. just bought both of them [setancrew]

you better go for o2 neo it costs 21k in india, the same model shown on your topic, and you can by a pc too, [dholey]

go 4 the pda....imate ya dats good even blueberry!i dono it exists in Pk or not but neways im sending u the link http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cheap-blueberry.htm [sunflowergirl]

what eva u want! get a laptop or computer [zoya28rock]

its better to buy a PC for urself [neha_khan]

did u purchased or not or still confused to take Decision. [asi1978]

go for a new comp....get good hard drive say 200gb or ....u can download stuff a lot..and good graphics card of geforce..7400 or7600...i think 57 gran will doo!!!.chuck mob....buy it later.... [slavehunter105]

Go For JasJam or other wise try JAMin i'm using both of them & very rarely sits on my Desktop PC coz i got each & everythng in my phone.....Wi-Fi is the bst support given in these fones thru which u can connect to internet thru ny HOTSPOT...i've got a wireless router in ma home & ny time can use internet at ny place in my home i like to thru my fone.... [papuyaar]

it depens on your needs .. n your habbit .. If you travel alot or always mobile .. u should gaet mobile phone .. if you more stay @ one place like office or home .. you better get computer instead .. but for mobile phone if you are an active person it sill great if you choose a smartphone or PDA phone ? [lameran]

i think first computer then mobile. [Mastermind_2007_86]

U can bye both with nice configuration [Manly001]

computer should be best as you witten that p-3 you then yuo must have good config. p.c with that. [earningalot]
